Torches for bars and cocktails
Short answer. Bartenders use compact butane torches to toast garnishes, flame citrus peel and char wood chips for smoked cocktails. Look for a torch that is quick to light, easy to hold and refills from a standard butane canister.

Behind the bar
- Toasting rosemary, cinnamon or marshmallow garnishes.
- Flaming citrus peel for aroma.
- Charring wood chips for smoked drinks.
What to choose
Compact torches with a safety lock and a stable base suit busy bars. A clear or metal tank shows the fuel level at a glance.
Keep torches away from spirits and open bottles, and never torch a drink that is still being poured.
